Chapter 1058: 765 Jiang Chen’s helplessness

What is a ruthless person? This is it.

Worried about the Human Race growing too powerful after the Heavenly Emperor of the Five Elements, the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents banished the Human Race from Heaven Court. Seeing this, King Wen and the Ancestor of Soldiers hardened their hearts and decided to establish their own divine court, directly building another Heaven Court.

This is the immortal and divine version of "I can take your place."

Establishing another Heaven Court was tantamount to opposing the Mystic Sect. The ambition of the Ancestor of Soldiers and King Wen was undeniably immense. Thus, their failure was inevitable.

Jiang Chen inherited their will and if one were to say he didn’t harbor the ambition to establish another Heaven Court, that would be impossible. On the contrary, his ambition was even greater than theirs.

King Wen and the Ancestor of Soldiers merely intended to establish another Heaven Court, but Jiang Chen had a bigger plan—he not only wanted to establish another Heaven Court, he also aimed to rebuild the Great Ancient Nine Heavens.

As long as he succeeded in rebuilding the Nine Heavens, Jiang Chen would become the legitimate ruler, recognized by the Heavenly Dao. In an instant, he could rise above the Jade Emperor.

There’s nothing much to say. The current Heavenly Realm, consisting of thirty-three heavens, is merely transformed from the fragments of the Great Ancient Nine Heavens. If the Nine Heavens were to return, the thirty-three heavens would naturally fall under their rule. How could they contend with that?

The goal that Jiang Chen was striving for was in perfect harmony with the Fate and the Divine Dao. Therefore, the establishment of his dynasty was an inevitability.

Moreover, compared to King Wen and the Ancestor of Soldiers, Jiang Chen had a greater advantage.

Yes, before King Wen raised his troops, he was already one of the four great feudal lords of the land, with countless soldiers and resources at his command. Compared to him, Jiang Chen’s disadvantage was not merely significant.

However, the advantage Jiang Chen possessed was something King Wen could never catch up with. Jiang Chen’s greatest advantage lay in the Cycle Divine Palace.

Given time, once the Cycle Divine Palace merged with the Boundless Starry Sky, he could use it to reshape the Cycle of stars. At that time, he could establish a Divine Court amid the sea of stars, achieving parity with the Heaven Court.

However strong King Wen’s start was, he was confined to the ground and had his limits. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was different. After becoming invincible on land, he could immediately transfer his power to the heavens and continue to grow stronger.

In terms of prospects for development, Jiang Chen far exceeded King Wen.

If King Wen and the Ancestor of Soldiers had had Jiang Chen’s advantage back in the day, the ability to reshape the Boundless Starry Sky, their plan would not have failed, and the Zhou Dynasty would not have fallen into such a state, far inferior to Great Shang, even tumbling down to the level of a mere Mortal Human Dynasty.

...

"Ai, what a hassle!"

Thinking of the matter of founding a nation and becoming king, Jiang Chen felt a headache coming on. He had long set his heart on this matter, but sadly, he had not yet found the right opportunity.

The so-called opportunity meant that the Fate of Great Han had run out, reaching the end of the dynasty. At that time, he could take advantage of the situation, unify the world, and embark on his own path as the Human King.

Unfortunately, things were inconvenient in this respect. Jiang Chen, using the art of divination, observed that although Great Han was indeed on the decline, there was still time before its Fate ran out completely.

If Great Han was not in chaos, how could Jiang Chen overthrow it? Nowadays, Great Han is recognized as the orthodox Human Race, blessed with the Fate of the Human Race. If Jiang Chen’s position as the Human King were stable, he could employ some tactics to obliterate this nation.

However, Jiang Chen’s position as the Human King was unstable, and rashly extinguishing Great Han could provoke a backlash from the nation’s Fate, potentially shattering his position as the Human King on the spot.

This is also why, after Great Shang, the Fate of the Human Race was significantly weakened. Otherwise, even if Jiang Chen were a complete Human King, he wouldn’t dare to target a flourishing dynasty.

Great Shang made such a great mistake, yet no one dared to wipe it out directly, instead replacing it with another dynasty. From this, one can see the strength of a dynasty’s Fate.

"No matter what, I must not touch this Great Han Dynasty!" In fact, Jiang Chen had many reservations about Great Han, and it wasn’t just about Fate.

A long time ago, Jiang Chen knew that the origins of the Great Han Dynasty were not simple, and it was linked to important figures in the Heavenly Realm. That Han Gaozu Liu Bang was the son of the Red Emperor, one of the Five Emperors.

The Five Emperors are extremely ancient beings, born of the Innate Five Races, each a Quasi-Saint level master.

In the past, when Jiang Chen was young, he didn’t understand the origins of the Five Emperors and their relationship with the Human Race. It was puzzling that the rule of a grand Human Race dynasty should be entrusted to an outsider.

But as his strength grew and his knowledge expanded, he came to understand the reasons behind this.

Ultimately, it was because the Five Emperors were allies of the Human Race, or to be precise, guests of honor among the Human Race who had made indelible contributions to its growth.

In the Chaos World, there were numerous races and countless masters. Although the Human Race was at enmity with thousands of races, they were not truly alone and weak; they also had allies.

In life, who doesn’t have a few friends? The Human Race, too, had friends, such as the Witch Clan, the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan...

The Five Emperors were allies of the Human Race, and they were related to the Innate Five Races.

In the Ancient Era, when the Human Race was born, its strength was frail and weak, ranking very low among all races, the very bottom of Chaos World. At that time, in order to grow, the Human Race, along with others, worshiped the Five Elements Holy Beast in hopes of obtaining their protection.

To tell the truth, there were many races in the Chaos World that worshiped the Five Elements Holy Beast, including the Demon Clan with many races revering the Holy Beasts as gods.

The reason was simple: the Five Elements Holy Beast were sacred beings recognized by the Heavenly Dao as guardians of Chaos, tantamount to officially recognized deities. Worshiping them posed no problem and invited no trouble.

In the vast Chaos World, thousands of races worshipped the Five Elements Holy Beast. If not ten thousand, then at least eight thousand, and among these races, the Human Race was not prominent, so naturally, they struggled to gain the attention of the Five Elements Holy Beast.
